Message Board Post:
I am studying four brothers named Neukom from Wil, Zurich, Switzerland, who came to Terre
Haute in the mid 1800's after their parents died. Solomon Neukom was the youngest, and
apparently lived in Germany for a while after being orphaned.
In the 1880 census for Solomon Neukom, his household includes Mary E. Kamm (possibly
Kanun), age 70, a widow born in Hanover. She is listed as his step-mother. She does not
appear in the 1900 census in Vigo County, presumably having died. Information about her
might help me determine where he lived while in Germany. Does anyone know anything about
her or have suggestions about how I might find her obituary?
Thanks for your help.
